Cure All Your Afternoon Snack Cravings with the 4:00 PM Cookie

It's easy enough to choose a healthy breakfast and remain virtuous at lunch, but when the munchies strike during a stressful afternoon how is anyone supposed to avoid the cookie jar? (Or the chocolate bowl.) Turning into a snack-time cookie monster can often lead to a whole slew of problems, from a blood-sugar spike-and-crash to overeating later on that day.

But forget the Oreos and leave behind the Chips Ahoy — and meet the waistline friendly 4:00 Cookie. Unlike their sugary counterparts, the 4:00 PM cookie is specially designed to stabilize blood sugar and energy levels thanks to its blend of whole grains and low-glycemic sweeteners. Plus, there’s no added white sugar or white flour.

But they don’t taste like cardboard. We promise. In fact, they’re more like bursting with flavor from ingredients like dried figs, dried cherries, blueberries, coconut, and bittersweet chocolate, so all your cravings will be satisfied.

The 4:00 PM Cookie comes in six flavors including Cherry Dark Chocolate Hazelnut, Fig Dark Chocolate Coconut, Chocolate Cherry, Wild Blueberry Almond, Cranberry Trail Mix and Chocolate Macadamia Crunch. [Ed. note: The Macadamia cookie is to. die. for. – RJ] With about 200 calories and two grams of fiber per cookie, they make the perfect afternoon treat. You can buy the cookies online, at the 4:00 Cookie Store location in Rye, NY, or at other select retails across New York and Connecticut.
